This Mother's Cry

Just yesterday I held you close. You mean so much to me.
Because I care, I had to share.
In time I hope you'll see.

Crying out for you,
Were you crying out for me?

Time stands still for me.
Although the days and years go by,

Wondering why I didn't hold you longer,
Spend more time before I said good-bye.

Crying out for you,
Were you crying out for me?

So now I'm crying out for you,
Were you crying out for me?

In the still of the night,
The emptiness within me longs for something
That cannot be.

To know for sure you're safe and secure,
To go back in time and change my mind,
Again I wish I could see

Just one more glimpse of your angel face
Forever etched in my memory.

Crying out for you,
Were you crying out for me?

Just yesterday I held you close.
You mean so much to me.
